Produced at a fee of five billion cubic yards in step with yr, concrete is the second one most generally fed on substance on the earth, after water. it's ubiquitous and simply taken with no consideration because the stuff of sidewalks and roads, energy crops and parking garages. Concrete is usually, even if, a well-liked fabric of state-of-the-art architects and engineers, who price not just its versatility and power yet its limitless power for innovative expression. A hybrid substance made of cement, water, sand, and mineral aggregates, concrete—or liquid stone—has no intrinsic shape. within the arms of gifted designers, its final visual appeal is dictated by way of the framework into which it truly is poured and the colour, texture, or development utilized to its floor.
In a sequence of essays by means of best architects, engineers, and students, Liquid Stone explores the character of concrete, its prior and destiny, from technical, inventive, and ancient views. Over thirty constructions through best overseas architects together with Jean Nouvel, Herzog & de Meuron, Zaha Hadid, Steven Holl, Norman Foster, and Santiago Calatrava are provided via distinctive descriptions, pictures, and technical drawings.
The booklet concludes with "The way forward for Concrete," a bankruptcy on newly rising fabrics. the following self-consolidated, ultra-high-performance, and translucent concrete are illustrated, introducing the subsequent new release in concrete expertise and suggesting new instructions for either structure and engineering.

The standard heritage of structure is a grand narrative of hovering monuments and heroic makers. however it is additionally a fake narrative in lots of methods, hardly acknowledging the private disasters and disappointments of architects. In Bleak homes, Timothy Brittain-Catlin investigates the bottom of structure, the tales of losers and unfulfillment frequently missed via an architectural feedback that values novelty, reputation, and virility over fallibility and rejection.
This revealing memoir through Aldo Rossi (1937--1997), the most obvious and arguable figures ever at the foreign structure scene, intermingles discussions of Rossi's architectural initiatives -- together with the main literary and inventive affects on his paintings -- together with his own historical past.
This small e-book on small dwellings explores a number of the greatest questions that may be posed approximately structure. What starts off the place structure ends? What used to be earlier than structure? The ostensible topic of Ann Cline's inquiry is the primitive hut, a one-room constitution equipped of universal or rustic fabrics.

The Lake Texoma Striper Fishing Report for early winter is GREAT! Fall fishing remains outstanding here on Lake Texoma. I'm still using slabs to get most of my fish. All trips are limiting and most trips are boating over 100 fish. We are throwing back lots of overs and limits have been pretty easy to get. Birds are feeding on the shad that are being pushed to the surface by huge schools of feeding fish underneath them. You can also find fish on structure. I'll be taking a few days off to do some hunting over Thanksgiving break. Happy Thanksgiving to all. I'll post a couple videos to go with this report. It's been a great week here on Beautiful Lake Texoma!
The birds are as thick on the lake as I've seen in years and they are making the fishing very easy, but most of the bigger fish I've been getting are not under birds. They have been on the ledges and drop offs. Most trips have boated 100 or more fish over the past two weeks and it's been simply amazing to me. Texoma is one heck of a fishery and it only looks to get better. The fall fishing is great but the big fish of winter are starting to show themselves. I'm still using slabs to get my fish but I know swim baits are working just as well, and it won't be long until I'll need to slow down my presentation. I'm excited to see what the fishing this winter will be like since it's been so good this fall. Give me a call to set up an adventure you will always remember. It's been a great couple weeks here on Beautiful Lake Texoma!

In fiscal year 2016, SGL Group was able to increase earnings on slightly lower sales revenues. Recurring EBIT from continuing operations increased to 20.7 (previous year: 13.7) million euros. Business with the automotive industry within the CFM business unit chiefly contributed to this development, whereas GMS was impacted by the weakness in the North American oil and gas industry. At the same time, SGL Group implemented further important measures in the context of its strategic realignment. These included the accelerated finalization of the carve-out of the business unit Performance Products (PP) in June 2016, the agreement to sell the graphite electrode business to the Japanese company Showa Denko in October and the capital increase in December.
Sales of SGL Group from continuing operations in the fiscal year 2016 amounted to 769.8 (previous year: 789.5) million euros. This represents a 3 percent decline. Reported Group EBIT from continuing operations increased substantially from 6.9 million in 2015 to 23.7 million euros in 2016. Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) based on EBITDA before non-recurring charges rose from 7.9 percent in 2015 to 8.4 percent in 2016. Net financing result amounted to minus 50.9 (previous year: minus 52.3) million euros. The result from continuing operations before taxes improved to minus 27.2 (previous year: minus 45.4) million euros; after taxes, the net result amounted to minus 34.0 (previous year: minus 67.5) million euros.
Sales in the business unit CFM declined slightly in fiscal year 2016, by 3 percent, to 317.4 (previous year: 327.3) million euros primarily due to lower revenues in the textile fibers market segment. The price of textile fibers is linked to the raw material acrylonitrile, which is indexed to the oil price. In contrast, recurring EBIT again improved significantly to 20.1 (previous year: 11.3) million euros. Contributing factors include better results in the business with the automotive industry, improved earnings in the market segment industrial applications and one-time high invoicing in HITCO's materials business. Consequently, the EBIT margin rose to 6.3 (previous year: 3.5) percent. EBIT after non-recurring charges came to 31.8 (previous year: 10.8) million euros mainly due to the sales agreement for the small carbon fiber production facility in Evanston (USA).
In the business unit GMS, sales fell slightly to 444.1 (previous year: 453.5) million euros. The development within the individual market segments varied quite significantly. Substantial progress was made in the business with anode materials for lithium-ion batteries as well as in the solar and semiconductor market segments. In contrast, the chemicals market segment suffered from lower demand from the North American oil and gas sector. As a result, recurring EBIT declined to 27.8 (previous year: 34.1) million euros. Accordingly, the EBIT margin, at 6.3 percent, was down on the previous year's level (7.5 percent). EBIT after non-recurring charges amounted to 26.2 (previous year: 28.9) million euros.
Recurring EBIT in the T&I and Corporate segment improved from minus 31.7 million to minus 27.2 million euros. This result includes a positive one-off effect from a land sale. Adjusted for this effect, recurring EBIT was roughly at the previous year's level. Including non-recurring charges mainly related to project CORE, EBIT declined slightly to minus 34.3 (previous year: minus 32.8) million euros.
Earnings from discontinued operations comprise the results of the business unit Performance Products (PP) and HITCO (composite components for the aircraft industry), which was sold at the end of 2015. The price decline for graphite electrodes (GE) once again had a significant impact on PP, although delivery volumes were slightly up year-on-year. Business with cathodes, furnace linings and carbon electrodes (CFL/CE) remained as good as expected. Results of the business unit PP were further affected by impairment charges of 18 million euros from the valuation of the GE business activities held for sale (fair value as of September 30, 2016: 43 million euros) as well as a one-time deferred tax impact equivalent to approximately minus 23 million euros. In total, the loss from discontinued operations after taxes amounted to minus 75.7 (previous year: minus 225.8) million euros. Including continuing operations, in fiscal year 2016 SGL Group generated a consolidated net result of minus 111.7 (previous year: minus 295.0) million euros.
Total assets, at 1,899.2 (December 31, 2015: 1,856.1) million euros, slightly exceeded the previous year's level. The capital increase in December 2016 increased equity by 173.3 million euros. Adverse factors were the negative Group consolidated result, foreign exchange effects and the adjustment of interest rates for pension reserves. In total, the equity ratio rose to reach 17.5 (December 31, 2015: 15.6) percent. Net financial debt at the end of the year declined to 449.4 (December 31, 2015: 534.2) million euros due to the cash inflow from the capital increase.
As expected, free cash flow from continuing operations remained clearly negative but improved to minus 48.1 (previous year: minus 99.3) million euros. The negative free cash flow resulted primarily from capital expenditures and interest payments. The above factors were only partially compensated by the improved operating result in fiscal year 2016. Including discontinued operations, the free cash flow came to minus 81 (previous year: minus 126.1) million euros.
In September 2016, SGL Group launched project CORE (COrporate REstructuring) to align the "new", now downsized SGL Group even more with the strategic targets. In this process, the business units CFM und GMS will focus on development, production and marketing of products and solutions based on carbon fibers and specialty graphites, in order to position them for growth. All administrative tasks will be streamlined and concentrated in the central functions, and the organization of SGL Group thus adjusted to its new size. By the end of 2018, this is expected to yield approximately 25 million euros in cost savings, strengthening SGL Group's profitability.
SGL Group already concluded its SGL2015 cost savings program launched in 2013 at the end of the third quarter of 2016. By the end of September, 228 million euros had been reached. As the savings target of 240 million euros – which had been increased twice– included the losses of 15 million euros from HITCO and SGL Rotec (rotor blades), which in the meantime have been sold, SGL Group thus slightly outperformed its target.
In October 2016, SGL Group signed an agreement to sell its graphite electrode business to the Japanese company Showa Denko based on an enterprise value of 350 million euros. After deducting liabilities, SGL Group is expecting cash proceeds in excess of 200 million euros. Closing is expected in mid-2017. The remaining business with cathodes, furnace linings and carbon electrodes are to be sold separately in 2017.
The net proceeds from the divestment of the discontinued business unit PP, along with the net proceeds of the capital increase, are intended to be used for the full early repayment of the corporate bond and for the full redemption of the convertible bond due in 2018. Accordingly, SGL Group will redeem a substantial amount of its debt and considerably reduce the level of interest payments in future.
For the fiscal year 2017, SGL Group anticipates a mid single digit percentage increase in Group sales. Thanks to the expected volume growth and initial benefits from project CORE, recurring Group EBITDA and recurring Group EBIT should increase more than proportionately to sales. Due to the positive one-time from the sale of the Evanston site in the previous year and the planned early redemption of the corporate bond, which is expected to lead to an early prepayment penalty, the anticipated operational improvements will likely not be reflected in the Group result from continuing operations. Accordingly, SGL Group anticipates a Group loss from continuing operations in the mid double-digit million euro range, roughly at the same level as the previous year. Earnings from discontinued operations and, therefore, also the consolidated net result of SGL Group, will be impacted by an expected slight improvement in operations, the non-recurrence of the deferred tax effect and restructuring expenses of the former PP reporting segment and potentially by the proceeds of the sale of CFL/CE, depending on the exact timing of the closing.
A slight increase in sales is anticipated in the CFM business unit. This will be offset primarily by start up expenses for the Lightweight and Application Center, which is developing future business with the automotive and aerospace industries. Moreover, EBIT for fiscal year 2016 includes a one-time effect from higher invoicing in the American materials business for the aerospace industry. Therefore SGL Group expects EBIT in the CFM business unit at the previous year's level.
SGL Group also anticipates a slight increase in sales in the GMS segment. The expected development is primarily attributable to the LED and chemicals market segments as well as to the industrial business in North America. Strong growth in volume demand is also expected in our lithium-ion battery business. The higher capacity utilization in all business activities, in combination with savings effects, is likely to lead to a marked increase in EBIT. Therefore it should be possible to approximately achieve our Group target ROCE (ratio of EBITDA to capital employed) of 15 percent.

Is Time Travel Possible - Maybe
Gaurav Khanna, University of Massachusetts Dartmouth Friday December 28, 2018 6:31 AM
Can we travel much further into the future? Absolutely. The really interesting question is whether we can travel back into the past.
The concept of time travel has always captured the imagination of physicists and laypersons alike. But is it really possible? Of course it is. We're doing it right now, aren't we? We are all traveling into the future one second at a time. But that was not what you were thinking. Can we travel much further into the future? Absolutely. If we could travel close to the speed of light, or in the proximity of a black hole, time would slow down enabling us to travel arbitrarily far into the future. The really interesting question is whether we can travel back into the past.
I am a physics professor at the University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth, and first heard about the notion of time travel when I was 7, from a 1980 episode of Carl Sagan's classic TV series, Cosmos. I decided right then that someday, I was going to pursue a deep study of the theory that underlies such creative and remarkable ideas: Einstein's relativity. Twenty years later, I emerged with a PhD in the field and have been an active researcher in the theory ever since.
Now, one of my doctoral students has just published a paper in the journal Classical and Quantum Gravity that describes how to build a time machine using a very simple construction.
Einstein's general theory of relativity allows for the possibility of warping time to such a high degree that it actually folds upon itself, resulting in a time loop. Imagine you're traveling along this loop; that means that at some point, you'd end up at a moment in the past and begin experiencing the same moments since, all over again – a bit like deja vu, except you wouldn't realize it. Such constructs are often referred to as "closed time-like curves" or CTCs in the research literature, and popularly referred to as "time machines." Time machines are a byproduct of effective faster-than-light travel schemes and understanding them can improve our understanding of how the universe works.
Addional story by CLIFFORD PICKOVER (PBS)
Can the flow of time be stopped? Certainly some mystics thought so. Angelus Silesius, a sixth-century philosopher and poet, thought the flow of time could be suspended by mental powers:
Time is of your own making.
its clock ticks in your head.
The moment you stop thought
The line between science and mysticism sometimes grows thin. Today physicists would agree that time is one of the strangest properties of our universe. In fact, there is a story circulating among scientists of an immigrant to America who has lost his watch. He walks up to a man on a New York street and asks, "Please, Sir, what is time?" The scientist replies, "I'm sorry, you'll have to ask a philosopher. I'm just a physicist."
time's past Most cultures have a grammar with past and future tenses, and also demarcations like seconds and minutes, and yesterday and tomorrow. Yet we cannot say exactly what time is. Although the study of time became scientific during the time of Galileo and Newton, a comprehensive explanation was given only in this century by Einstein, who declared, in effect, time is simply what a clock reads. The clock can be the rotation of a planet, sand falling in an hourglass, a heartbeat, or vibrations of a cesium atom. A typical grandfather clock follows the simple Newtonian law that states that the velocity of a body not subject to external forces remains constant. This means that clock hands travel equal distances in equal times. While this kind of clock is useful for everyday life, modern science finds that time can be warped in various ways, like clay in the hands of a cosmic sculptor.
Today, we know that time travel need not be confined to myths, science fiction, Hollywood movies, or even speculation by theoretical physicists.
Science-fiction authors have had various uses for time machines, including dinosaur hunting, tourism, visits to one's ancestors, and animal collecting. Ever since the time of H.G. Wells' famous novel The Time Machine (1895), people have grown increasingly intrigued by the idea of traveling through time. (I was lucky enough to have chats with H.G. Wells' grandson, who told me that his grandfather's book has never been out of print, which is rare for a book a century old.) In the book, the protagonist uses a "black and polished brass" time machine to gain mechanical control over time as well as return to the present to bring back his story and assess the consequences of the present on the future. Wells was a graduate of the Imperial College of Science and Technology, and scientific language permeates his discussions. Many believe Wells' book to be the first story about a time machine, but seven years before 22-year-old Wells wrote the first version of The Time Machine, Edward Page Mitchell, an editor of the New York Sun, published "The Clock That Went Backward."

Video: There is no copyright in ideas
I made a video for my intellectual property (IP) class that explains the lessons in one of my most popular posts, There is no copyright in ideas.
If you missed that post, or if you just prefer videos, you can check it out here: (it's only 2 mins long)

Tolerated use
So far, we've discussed what copyright infringement is, exceptions to copyright infringement, and how a copyright owner can give you permission to do something that would otherwise be an infringement.
Perhaps you've noticed, though, that there's a lot of content online which doesn't seem to be permitted or under an exception. People share content all the time just for fun – photos on Pinterest or Instagram, memes on Tumblr, videos on Facebook or YouTube. Are these all unlawful? The scope of probable infringement seems, at times, huge.
Many of these actions are understood by copyright lawyers to be tolerated use. "Tolerated use" is a term coined by Tim Wu, a law professor at Columbia University in New York. It means, basically, uses which are technically infringing but which are tolerated by copyright owners for various reasons – sometimes because they don't want to alienate their fan-base, but usually because it is too difficult and expensive to find the people committing copyright infringement and bring legal action against them.
'Who says the mix tape is dead?' by Simon Williams, licensed under CC: BY-NC-ND
Historically, many actions that we consider "normal" fell within a kind of "zone of tolerated use" because, though technically infringing, they were done within the privacy of our own homes and were not detectable by copyright owners. Things like: making a mix-tape for a crush or burning a CD for a friend. Taping movies off the television to build a home library or copying a picture to hang on your wall. All acts of copyright reproduction and technically infringing, but unlikely to attract the attention of a copyright owner.
These days, many of our copying and sharing activities have moved online and, consequently, the zone of tolerated use may be shrinking. Now, software makes it easier to digitally "lock" creative content to prevent copying, or to track where content ends up. Technology is starting to make it possible for copyright owners to know when people are copying and sharing, in ways they never did before. I don't yet know what this means for the ways in which we use the internet, now or in the future, but I do think it's useful to be aware of the reach and bounds of copyright, and which uses are permitted and which are merely tolerated.

Does Facebook own everything I post??
Seen this recently?
I'm sure many of you have. Heck, some of you may have shared it. It's the latest iteration of these declarations that seem to pop up on Facebook every now and again. They stem from a fear that Facebook will take ownership of the things that we post or, at least in this version, that Facebook will take things we share only with our friends under our privacy settings and make them public.
Fear not, friends. This statement is unnecessary and a hoax. Don't even get me started on how much is wrong with it. For starters, things you post publicly on social media are NOT confidential information. But I'll tell you about private and confidential information some other day.
For now, I want to tell you properly what rights Facebook takes in your posts and what it can and can't do with them. I'm getting this information from Facebook's Terms of Use – this is the contract you agree to when you sign up to Facebook. Bear in mind that the terms change occasionally, so what I'm telling you here is current as at 24 January 2015. If you want to check for updates, you can access the Terms of Use here.
(1) You own all the content and information you post to Facebook…
…and you control how it is shared through your privacy settings. BUT you do give Facebook a non-exclusive licence to use your content in connection to Facebook. This licence is necessary for Facebook to function. Without this permission it could not display the content you post to your friends, for example. Facebook is only permitted to display your content in line with the privacy settings that you choose, so if you select 'friends only' when you post a status, Facebook cannot share it publicly. The licence ends when you delete your content EXCEPT where others have shared your content on their page, in which case the content continues to be available on their page unless and until they also delete it.
(2) When you sign up to Facebook you agree to use Facebook in a "safe" way…
…which means no bullying or harassment, no hate speech, and nothing unlawful or discriminatory. You also agree not to infringe other people's copyright. Facebook has the right to remove any content it believes violates these terms.
(Remember – just because you post a picture to Facebook does not make it yours under copyright, unless you created the picture or took the photograph. You might be posting other people's content, so take care.)
(3) For users outside of the United States…
…you consent to having your personal data transferred to and processed in the United States. (Different rules apply for German citizens). This may affect your privacy interests so far as the U.S. Government (and the NSA) is concerned.
(Want to read more about your privacy rights on Facebook? That's contained in Facebook's Data Use Policy. It's designed to be easy to read, so don't be shy. But if you still find it too dense to read, let me know in the comments and I'll do a follow-up post just about Facebook's privacy policy.)
Remember: Your relationship with Facebook is governed by the terms of the contract you agree to by using Facebook. Those terms are contained in Facebook's Terms of Use. Nothing that you post in a status update will change them.
I've only provided a very brief summary of the relevant terms of use here. If you have any more specific queries, hit me up in the comments and I'll check it out for you. In coming weeks, I'll read and summarise the Terms of Use for Instagram, Twitter and other common platforms for you as well.

Shireen T. Hunter writes:
This widely held Arab belief that Iranians are not real Muslims is based on the premise that they never fully converted to Islam. Instead, they developed Shi'ism, which is allegedly nothing more than their old religion with a thin guise of Islam. Moreover, Arabs believe that the Iranians did so in order to subvert and undermine their true and pure Islam. In a Cairo bookshop near Al-Azhar several years ago, I saw a book for sale entitled Shia Conspiracy Against Islam. Since then, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and others, along with religious figures such as the Egypt-born resident of Qatar Sheik Yusuf Qaradawi, have sponsored many more books on Shi'ism's threat to Islam and Iran's plans to convert Sunnis to Shi'ism.
The idea of Shi'ism as an Iranian creation has, of course, no historical validity. The split that occurred within the Muslim community of Arabia immediately after the Prophet Muhammad's demise and that eventually led to the Sunni-Shi'a divide, was a purely Arab phenomenon. At the time, Arab/Islamic armies had not yet conquered Iran. Later, some Iranians might have seen in the Shi'a split from Sunnism a reflection of some of their ancient values and rites. But they certainly did not invent Shi'ism. The first impetus for the Iranian embrace of the House of Ali came after the Arab invasion and the policy of ethnic discrimination practiced by Iran's new Arab rulers, beginning with the first Caliph Omar, despite Islam's claim to the racial and ethnic equality of all Muslims. The Abbasids even perpetuated this practice, although Persian Muslims had contributed considerably to their victory over the Umayyad dynasty.
If Iranians are non-Muslims then Islam's edict that Muslims should not fight other Muslims does not apply to them. Therefore, you can kill Shi'a Iranians just like any other infidel without any twinge of conscience. In the current atmosphere of tension between Saudi Arabia and Iran, spreading the view of Iranians as non-Muslims has considerable political ramifications. For example, it can help the Saudis enlist other Muslims in their fight, both overt and covert, against Iran. Already, groups such as the Taliban, the Islamic State, and al-Qaeda have internalized this Saudi view and view the Iranians as infidels.
It's not surprising for the Saudi mufti, out of political expediency, to call Iranians Majus. What is sad is that present-day Iranians should see this appellation as an insult. But then Iran's Islamists have been waging a campaign against the country's indigenous culture for at least 60 years. Since their victory in the 1979 revolution, they have worked relentlessly to erase all vestiges of Iran's indigenous culture and to subsume it under a state-sponsored, politicized, and ideologized form of Islam that is totally alien to Iran's traditional Shia Islam, which is closely intertwined with Iran's early civilization.
That's very interesting to me. I have a book on Zoroastrianism, but it's only portions of surviving texts. As I understand it, much has been lost.
This sounds like a potentially worse split than the Protestant-Catholic split of Christianity.

This doesn't say much about the moral state of America. The only bright side is that feminists don't like the movie, and it's success actually confirms some manosphere beliefs. But it's success is a net loser from a cultural standpoint.

Ben Shapiro on Why Jews Vote Leftist
I don't agree with some of the first part of this with its implied interventionism. The position of the US on matters in the Middle East should be disengagement and neutrality. But otherwise Shapiro is correct, and since he is a Jew he can't be faulted for saying it. American Jews are largely secular and their Jewishness is primarily an ethnic identity rather than a religion. As a Christian, I think all Jews need to convert to Christianity and find their true Messiah, but barring that, Jews need a religious revival the same way the fast fading Christian culture in this country does. Long term trends have this country on a rather fast highway to Hell.
Please do not muck up the comment thread with Jew bashing. We need to pray for the souls of Jewish people the same way we pray for the souls of Hindus, pagans, atheists, etc.

False alarm prompts massive police presence at NY hospital
Zeeshan Ahmad
BRONXVILLE, N.Y. (AP) — Police rushed to a suburban hospital late Sunday after two patients reported seeing a man with a shotgun, but after hours of searching and reviewing security camera footage, officials concluded it was a false alarm.
"There are no victims and at this point, we don't believe there was a suspect in the hospital who was armed," said Bronxville Police Chief Christopher Satriale.
The incident at NewYork-Presbyterian Lawrence Hospital in Westchester County sparked a massive police response, including SWAT teams, after two patients in the same room reported the armed man to nurses on the sixth floor.
The hospital was then locked down as the building was searched room to room.
Hours later, security camera footage didn't appear to show any individual armed with a long gun or handgun in the area outside the patients' room, Satriale said.
Satriale was asked if the patients might have made up the report maliciously. He said no and called them "credible witnesses" who thought the information they were providing was accurate.
"They might just be wrong in what they thought they observed," he said.
No patients were evacuated from the hospital, which had earlier urged people not to come to the hospital unless it was an emergency.
In 2017, a doctor opened fire inside a Bronx hospital, killing a doctor and hurting six others before killing himself at the scene. The former doctor at Bronx Lebanon Hospital, Henry Bello, had been forced to resign two years earlier amid a sexual harassment claim.

«Мускусная роза» () — фильм нуар режиссёра Грегори Ратоффа, который вышел на экраны в 1947 году.

Фильм поставлен по роману «Мускусная роза» (1934) британской писательницы Марджори Боуэн, которая опубликовала его под псевдонимом Джозеф Ширинг. Действие фильма происходит в Великобритании в конце XIX века, где танцовщица лондонского кордебалета Белль Эдэйр (Пегги Камминс) обнаруживает убитой свою коллегу, подозревая в этом преступлении благородного джентльмена Майкла Дрего (Виктор Мэтьюр), с которым та встречалась. С помощью шантажа Белль получает возможность пожить в загородной усадьбе Дрего, пытаясь реализовать свою детскую мечту стать настоящей леди. Вскоре между Белль и Майклом возникают чувства, и он решает разорвать свадьбу со своей невестой Одри (Патрисия Медина), которую вскоре обнаруживают убитой точно так же, как и первую жертву. Когда мать Майкла, леди Маргарет (Этель Бэрримор) пытается убить и Белль, Майкл и инспектор полиции Клиннер (Винсент Прайс) в последний момент останавливают её.

Фильм получил высокие оценки современных критиков за увлекательный сюжет, атмосферу и напряжённость, а также за отличную актёрскую игру, особенно, со стороны Пегги Камминс.

Сюжет
В конце XIX века Белль Эдайр (Пегги Камминс) едет в поезде, вспоминая о событиях, произошедших с ней за последнее время. Её воспоминания начинаются с того момента, когда она работала танцовщицей кордебалета в лондонском театре, и снимала комнату в недорогом пансионе, где проживала также её коллега и подруга Дейзи Эрроу (Марго Вуд). Однажды вечером после представления Белль видит, как Дейзи уезжает в извозчичьем кэбе с неизвестным джентльменом. На следующее утро Белль замечает, как мужчина выходит из комнаты Дейзи, после чего обнаруживает Дейзи мёртвой, а рядом с её телом лежит роза и открытая Библия. На место преступления приезжают инспектор полиции Р. Клиннер (Винсент Прайс) и сержант Эванс (Рис Уильямс), которые устанавливают, что Дейзи была отравлена и затем задушена. Клиннер, будучи садоводом-любителем, замечает, что около Дейзи лежит мускусная роза, которой требуется кислая почва, и в это время года в Англии она не цветёт. Позднее тем же днём Белль, которую в действительности зовут Роуз Линтон, находит извозчика (Билли Биван), который отвёз мужчину, которого она видела выходящим из комнаты Дейзи. Когда извозчик узнаёт, что умерший отец Белль был его коллегой, он охотно делится с Белль информацией о том, что отвёз мужчину в гостиницу «Ридженси».

Белль направляется в гостиницу, где в ресторане видит таинственного джентльмена, которого разыскивала. Во время завтрака к этому мужчине, которого зовут Майкл Дрего (Виктор Мэтьюр), неожиданно для него подсаживаются его мать, леди Маргарет Дрего (Этель Бэрримор), и его невеста Одри Эштон (Патрисия Медина). Как выясняется, они приехали днём ранее и вечером собираются отправиться поездом обратно в семейное поместье в Девоншире. Майкл говорит, что сегодня не сможет составить им компанию, обещая приехать как можно скорее. Выждав некоторое время, Белль приходит в номер Майкла, заявляя ему, что видела, как он выходил из комнаты Дейзи. Решив, что Белль пришла шантажировать его, Майкл отрицает знакомство с Дейзи и выпроваживает Белль из номера. Когда Белль видит объявление в газете о предстоящем браке Майкла и Одри, она направляет анонимное письмо инспектору Клиннеру, утверждая, что Майкл причастен к убийству Дейзи.

Клиннер вызывает Майкла для беседы, уточняя, где тот находился в момент убийства, однако тот даёт инспектору ложную информацию. Вскоре в полицейский участок доставляют Белль, которой предлагают опознать человека по голосу, который она слышала в комнате Дейзи в день убийства. Во время опознания Майкл даёт Белль понять, что готов встретиться с ней и достойно отблагодарить её. После этого Белль заявляет Клиннеру, что голос Майкла её незнаком. На следующий день они встречаются в художественной галерее, где Майкл в знак благодарности передаёт Белль конверт с 500 фунтами, что является очень большой суммой для такой девушки, как она. Однако перед тем, как выписаться из гостиницы Майкл получает от Белль конверт со своими деньгами и записку предложением встретиться вечером на мосту Ватерлоо. Во время встречи Белль говорит Майклу, что её не интересуют деньги. С детства она мечтала стать настоящей леди и жить в загородном поместье, и потому она просит Майкла взять её с собой на пару недель в свою усадьбу в Девоншире. Поначалу Майкл отказывается, но когда Белль угрожает обвинить его в убийстве Дейзи, он соглашается.

Майкл покупает Белль одежду как у леди, и они приезжают в усадьбу. Ожидая встречи с ними, Одри говорит леди Маргарет, что её очень беспокоит и расстраивает появление Белль. Однако леди Маргарет успокаивает её, говоря, что Белль оказала Майклу большую услугу. Она встречает Белль весьма любезно, угощает чаем и показывает её комнату. Оставшись одна, Белль заходит в соседнюю комнату, в которой видит детскую мебель и много игрушек. Она задерживается, чтобы рассмотреть игрушки, и в этот момент входит разгневанная леди Маргарет. Она заявляет, что в эту комнату уже много лет не заходил никто, кроме неё, а затем рассказывает, что когда Майкл был маленьким ребёнком, то это была его комната. Затем отец увёз Майкла в Канаду, откуда тот вернулся в Англию совсем недавно. Всё это время леди Маргарет в память о сыне, которого очень любит, сохраняла его комнату в неприкосновенности и никому не разрешала в неё заходить. Среди ночи Белль неожиданно просыпается и видит в своей комнате Одри, которая пришла выяснить намерения Белль, опасаясь, что та может навредить её отношениям с Майклом. Белль уверяет её, что хочет быть для неё хорошей подругой, после чего Одри удаляется.

Вскоре Одри уезжает в Лондон покупать приданое. После её отъезда Майкл становится более живым и весёлым. Он проводит много времени с Белль, и она понимает, что он не любит свою невесту. По возвращении из Лондона Одри вместе с Белль заходит в местный книжный магазин, где торговец напоминает, как Белль недавно купила три экземпляра Библии. Вскоре в усадьбу приезжают инспектор Клиннер и сержант Эванс, которые уже выяснили по своим каналам, что Одри купила Библии в магазине, однако леди Маргарет объясняет, что Одри отдала их в больницы на благотворительность. После этого Клиннер спрашивает леди Маргарет о мускусных розах, и та рассказывает, что её садовник просто волшебник, у которого они цветут даже не в сезон. Она провожает Клиннера в теплицу, показывая ему цветущие розы. Позднее Клиннер, который увидел Белль в доме Драго, присылает ей записку, приглашая встретиться с ним вечером в городской гостинице. Белль боится встречи с инспектором, так как это может повредить Майклу, и начинает паковать вещи, чтобы дневным поездом уехать в Лондон. Появляется Майкл, который отговаривает её уезжать. Они оба понимают, что любят друг друга и целуются. Затем Майкл направляется к Одри, чтобы сказать ей о том, что любит Белль, и отменить свадьбу. После этого Одри находит Белль, которая гуляет в саду, обвиняя её в том, что она, женщина низкого происхождения и таких же низких моральных принципов, с помощью шантажа проникла в их дом, чтобы разрушить её отношения с Майклом и заполучить Майкла себе. Белль отрицает утверждения Одри, однако решает немедленно уехать, чтобы не вносить дальнейший разлад в чужие жизни.

Собрав чемоданы, Белль направляется на выход из дома. По дороге она заходит к Одри попрощаться, обнаруживая её мёртвой. На прикроватном столике у Одри лежит открытая Библия с вложенной в неё мускусной розой. Коронер приходит к заключению, что Одри умерла от передозировки снотворного, которое предположительно приняла сама, добавив в чашку с чаем. В отсутствие Клиннера местная полиция не находит ничего особенного в наличии розы и Библии, но задерживает Майкла для дальнейшего допроса. Когда приезжает Клиннер, он посылает за Белль, которая по возвращении сообщает леди Маргарет, что инспектор сказал ей, что Майкл сознался в убийстве Одри. Леди Маргарет понимает, что Белль по-настоящему любит Майкла, и предлагает ей выпить чаю, чтобы успокоиться. Они проходят в комнату Белль, где та замечает на балконе промелькнувшую тень. Когда Белль садится на кровать, леди Маргарет подаёт ей чай, который быстро клонит Белль в сон. Леди Маргарет помогает Белль лечь в кровать, а затем запирает все двери и кладёт на её столик розу и Библию. Ещё не уснувшей Белль леди Маргарет признаётся, что это она убила Дейзи и Одри, а сейчас убьёт и её, чтобы получить любимого сына полностью только себе. В тот момент, когда леди Маргарет собирается задушить Белль подушкой, Майкл, Клиннер и Эванс врываются в комнату с балкона и останавливают леди Маргарет… В поезде, который вскоре прибудет в Торонто, где Майкл встретит её, Белль заканчивает свои воспоминания тем, что леди Маргарет уже умерла и все эти события остались в прошлом, а её ожидает совершенно новая жизнь.

Создатели фильма и исполнители главных ролей
Режиссёр фильма Грегори Ратофф родился в 1897 году в Самаре, Российская империя, в еврейской семье, а в 1925 году эмигрировал в США. С 1929 по 1961 год Ратофф снимался в кино как актёр, а с 1936 по 1960 год работал как режиссёр, поставив 30 фильмов. Наиболее заметными режиссёрскими работами Ратоффа стали мюзикл «Роза с Вашингтон-сквер» (1939), мелодрамы «Интермеццо» (1939), «У Адама было четыре сына» (1941) и «Песнь о России» (1944), военная драма «Парижское подполье» (1945), а также биографическая драма «Оскар Уайлд» (1960).

Ирландская актриса Пегги Камминс снималась в кино с 1940 по 1961 год, сыграв главные роли в комедии «Покойный Джордж Эпли» (1947), фильме нуар «Без ума от оружия» (1950), драме «Моя дочь Джой» (1950), которую поставил Ратофф, а также в фильме ужасов «Ночь демона» (1957) и криминальном триллере «Адские водители» (1957).

Американская актриса Этель Бэрримор была одной из самых признанных актрис своего времени. В период 1914 по 1961 год она сыграла в 34 фильмах, из которых 14 приходится на эпоху немого кино. Однако, начиная с 1919 года, она перестала сниматься в кино, появившись до 1944 года только в одном фильме, исторической драме «Распутин и императрица» (1932), в котором сыграла царицу Александру Фёдоровну. Возобновив кинокарьеру в 1945 году, Бэрримор завоевала «Оскар» за роль второго плана в фильме «Только одинокое сердце» (1944), после чего ещё трижды номинировалась на премию «Оскар» за роли второго плана в фильмах «Винтовая лестница» (1946), «Дело Парадайна» (1947) и «Пинки» (1949).

В фильме сыграли также два звёздных американских актёра 1940—1950-х годов — Виктор Мэтьюр и Винсент Прайс. Мэтьюр, в частности, сыграл главные роли в таких популярных фильмах нуар, как «Ночной кошмар» (1941), «Поцелуй смерти» (1947), «Плач большого города» (1948) и «Жестокая суббота» (1955), а также в исторических драмах «Самсон и Далила» (1949) и «Плащаница» (1953).

Винсент Прайс сыграл заметные роли в таких популярных фильмах нуар, как «Лора» (1944), «Бог ей судья» (1945) и «Женщина его мечты» (1951), но больше всего он известен ролями в фильмах ужасов, таких как «Дом восковых фигур» (1953), «Дом ночных призраков» (1959), «Падение дома Ашеров» (1960), «Колодец и маятник» (1961) и «Маска красной смерти» (1964).

История создания фильма
Как отмечено в информации Американского института киноискусства, автором романа «Мускусная роза» указан Джозеф Ширинг (). На самом деле это псевдоним плодовитой британской писательницы Габриэль Маргарет Кэмпбелл, которая также писала под именами Джордж Приди () и Марджори Боуэн (). В 1943 году кинопродюсер Чарльз К. Фельдман () купил права на этот роман через Universal за 2,250 фунтов стерлингов. В сентябре 1946 года киностудия Twentieth Century Fox выкупила все права на роман
у Фельдмана за 200 тысяч долларов. Как часть сделки с Фельдманом Fox приобрела у него несколько сценарных разработок этого фильма, которые по его заказу выполнили сценаристы Жюль Фуртман (), Том Рид (), Найвен Буш () и Леонард Берковичи (). Студия также согласилась передать Фельдману одного из своих контрактных актёров для одной из его картин, которая должна быть сделана до конца 1948 года, однако из-за проблем с графиками актёров эта часть соглашения так и не была реализована.

19 сентября 1946 года в записке продюсеру Джину Марки () и режиссёру Грегори Ратоффу глава студии Twentieth Century Fox Дэррил Ф. Занук утвердил Пегги Камминс на главную женскую роль, предложив на главную мужскую роль Корнела Уайлда, Этель Бэрримор — на роль матери и Реджинальда Оуэна и Генри Дэниелла — в качестве полицейских. В записке, написанной в тот же день руководителю производства студии Рэю Клюну (), Занук отметил: «Я уверен, (Что для этой картины) мы сможем получить все декорации, которые у нас использовались в фильме "Клуни Браун" (1946), а также оформление улицы, которую вы сейчас строите для фильма "Амбер навсегда" (1947), и, возможно некоторые декорации из фильма "Покойный Джордж Эпли" (1947)…. Некоторые из улиц, которые мы использовали в "Хэнговер-сквер" (1945) и "Жилец" (1944) (которые, я уверен, всё ещё стоят на заднем дворе) также были бы идеальными для этой темы».

Американский писатель Джеймс М. Кейн помогал Найвену Бушу при подготовке окончательного варианта сценария, однако его имя в титрах указано не было.

В октябре 1946 году Занук предложил Чарльзу Лоутону роль инспектора Клиннера. Студия Fox арендовала актрису Патрисию Медину у Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer для съёмок в этом фильме.

Фильм находился в производстве с 25 ноября до 21 декабря 1946 года. После завершения основных съёмок было сделано несколько крупных изменений, дополнений и исключений. Дополнительные сцены и новые дубли были сделаны в конце февраля и начале марта, а также в середине марта 1947 года.

Премьера фильм состоялась в Лос-Анджелесе 30 мая 1947 года, фильм вышел в прокат в июне 1947 года.

Смысл знака убийцы — мускусная роза, положенная на отрытую Библию — в фильме не объясняется. Этот символ не был взят из романа, в котором название связано с танцем, который исполняет Белль.

Оценка фильма критикой

Общая оценка фильма
Как написал после выхода фильма кинокритик «Нью-Йорк Таймс» Босли Краузер, «читатели триллеров уже довольно давно говорят о писателе по имени Джозеф Ширинг, исторические детективы которого, по их словам, имеют свой особый колорит и своеобразие». С выходом этой картины появилась возможность насладиться и экранизацией романа этого писателя. Ведь, как продолжает критик, «этот первый из нескольких обещанных фильмов по Ширингу — вкрадчивый и захватывающий детективный триллер, тщательно прописан и восхитительно сыгран». Краузер заключает, что это «хороший фильм Twentieth Century Fox, который дал перспективный старт Джозефу Ширингу».

Журнал Variety в своей рецензии также пришёл к выводу, что «это хороший детектив», который отличает «крепкий актёрский состав и режиссура». Авторы фильма отлично воссоздают обстановку Англии начала века, позволяющую раскрыть «тему разрушительной материнской любви». Как отмечает рецензент, «режиссура Грегори Ратоффа придаёт значительный колорит этой исторической мелодраме. Он добивается от актёров точной игры, соответствующей атмосфере произведения».

Современный историк кино Спенсер Селби назвал картину «атмосферным викторианским триллером с некоторыми хорошими актёрскими работами». Как отметил современный киновед Крейг Батлер, «хотя это далеко не классика», тем не менее, это «увлекательный маленький детектив». По словам критика, «поклонникам жанра, которые ищут нечто менее известное, этот фильм будет приятной переменой после более популярных картин, а историческая среда, в которую он погружён, придаёт ему некоторое своеобразие». Как далее пишет Батлер, «сама история не очень отличается от десятков других детективов, но она предлагает героиню, более корыстолюбивую, чем большинство типичных не-роковых женщин» в фильмах того времени. В заключение Батлер отмечает, что «сценарий местами вязнет, и в нем не так много саспенса, как хотелось бы, но фильм всё равно стоит посмотреть».

Оценка актёрской игры
Как пишет Краузер, фильм добивается успеха во многом «благодаря великолепной игре Пегги Камминс… В её работе в качестве хористки-кокни есть сила духа, юмор и твёрдость, а также удивительная нежность, которая прекрасно дополняет её образ». Остальные исполнители также хороши — «Виктор Мэтьюр компетентен как подозреваемый убийца, Этель Бэрримор выдаёт весомую, тревожную роль в качестве матриарха, а Винсент Прайс прекрасно справляется с ролью вежливого, но настойчивого сотрудника Скотланд-Ярда».

Variety отмечает, что «Камминс необычайно интересна — её английское произношение развязанное в начале, постепенно становится всё более интеллигентным. С помощью этого приёма она развивает образ девушки из мюзик-холла, которая использует знание об убийстве для удовлетворения своего сокровенного желания» стать леди. Что касается Мэтьюра, то он «мастерски справляется со своим образом мрачного благовоспитанного англичанина».

По мнению современного историка кино Майкла Кини, «Камминс восхитительна в роли хористки, изображающей из себя леди, а Прайс играет более естественно, чем обычно». Батлер также отмечает, что «Пегги Камминс производит особенное впечатление в роли девушки-кокни, которая оказывается в центре событий», а «Этель Бэрримор отлично играет роль матери, показывая своё мастерство при каждой возможности». С другой стороны, «Мэтьюр довольно деревянный». Как далее пишет Батлер, «фильм также выделяется присутствием Винсента Прайса, но в данном случае в качестве представителя закона, а не одного из подозреваемых. Прайс хорош, хотя и менее забавен, чем обычно; роль не позволяет актёру предаться своему восхитительному переигрыванию, но она также и не достаточно сложна, чтобы раскрыть его подлинный драматический талант. Он таким образом идеально хорош, но не выделяется».

I'm officially half of a Complex Pair– married, tan, and still awful at Spanish…which didn't work out well with the taxi drivers in Mexico. All in all I was in Mexico and Minneapolis for the better part of two weeks getting married and honeymooning. Everything was great as I used the time to enjoy time with my wife, refresh my mind, and rest my body with cheese-cake, push-ups, and cervezas.
filled with trends and troughs. Some fancy-pants method pops into the limelight and becomes THE magical way to rapid results and then magically disappears overnight. Only the time-tried and best methods last long-term.
Case in point, Complex pair training.
Also known as Post Activation Potentiation (P.A.P.), complex pair training is an advanced method that utilizes a light, explosive movement (i.e. speed: Jumping) paired with a heavy movement ( heavy squat, >80% 1-RM) to increase nervous system activation, strength, and total power.
Sounds pretty badass, right? It is, but it's also very advanced; requiring planning and some beastmode skills to maximize it.
Still some power in those hops!
Today I'm sharing my own spectacular iteration on complex pair training on Elitefts. For advanced athletes complex training provides a great recipe to shatter plateaus in athletic, strength, and muscular development. Plus, there's a bomb-diggity complex pair workout program included.
Post-Activation Potentiation is the driving force behind the benefits of complex pair training.
Complex-pair training can improve power and rate of force development (RFD).
Complex training works best in trained, advanced level athletes. Unless you can move a decent amount of weight, this isn't for you. If this is you, then stop watching Miley Cyrus twerkin' it, go pick up heavy stuff, and raid the fridge.
Adding five pounds to the bar each workout might work when you're a rookie, but not once you've advanced as a trainee.
Long-term gains aren't achieved solely by linear workouts. Soon, your linear periodization and small to medium T-shirts no longer get the job done.
Luckily, there are numerous strategies to bust through your current levels of strength, power, and muscular development. The time has come to add strategically designed training to stimulate new gains.
Enter complex-pair training—an advanced training strategy to add spring to your static training, produce new slabs of muscle, and develop a powerful physique.
This advanced strategy combines a high-intensity strength training exercise followed by an explosive exercise that mimics the biomechanics of the strength training exercise, such as a deadlift and a broad jump. The driving force behind complex training is a phenomenon known as post-activation potentiation.


Microservices have become mainstream in the enterprise. This proliferation of microservices applications generates new problems, which requires a new approach to managing problems. A microservice is a small, independently deployable, and independently scalable software service that is designed to encapsulate a specific semantic function in the larger applicationl. This article explores several approaches to deploying tools to debug microservices applications on a Kubernetes platform like Red Hat OpenShift, including OpenTracing, Squash, Telepresence, and creating a Squash Operator in Red Hat Ansible Automation.
The Istio service mesh is a powerful tool for building a service mesh. If you don't know about Istio yet, have a look at the Introduction to Istio series of articles or download the ebook Introducing Istio Service Mesh for Microservices.
The power of Istio comes with the cost of some complexity at configuration and runtime. To help this, the Kiali project provides observability of the mesh and the services in the mesh. Kiali visualizes the mesh with its services and workloads. It indicates the health of the mesh and shows hints about applied configuration options. You can then drill in on individual services or settings to view details.
This post describes how to use Kiali to observe what the microservices in your Istio service mesh are doing, validate the Istio configuration, and see any issues.
How do I communicate with the orchestration layer to indicate the application is operating correctly and is available to receive traffic?
What happens if the application detects a system fault, and how does the application relay this to the orchestration layer?
How can I accurately trace traffic flow between my applications in order to identify potential bottlenecks?
What tools can I use to easily deploy my updated application as part of my standard toolchain?
What happens if I introduce a network fault between my services, and how do I test this scenario?
This may seem like a lot of overhead on top of the core application logic. Red Hat OpenShift Application Runtimes (RHOAR) and Istio provide developers with tools to adhere to these principles with minimal overhead in terms of coding and implementation.
In this blog post, we're specifically focusing on how RHOAR and Istio combine to provide tools for DevOps automation, lifecycle conformance, high observability, and runtime confinement.
You're in an IT department. How does the rest of the organization see you? As a valuable asset whose code and APIs make a difference in the marketplace, or as a necessary evil that should be trimmed as much as possible? Containers, microservices, and serverless computing can make you more responsive, flexible, and competitive, which in turn makes your organization more effective. And that puts you solidly in the asset column.
After sprinting through the streets of San Francisco from the stage of the opening keynote at Red Hat Summit 2018 (replay available here), Burr Sutter hosted a packed house in Moscone South to talk about these technologies. Containers are widely accepted (see the announcement from Red Hat and Microsoft for an example), microservices are increasingly popular as an approach to modernizing monolithic applications, and serverless computing is emerging as an important new programming model.
About a year ago Red Hat announced its participation as a launch partner of the Istio project, a service mesh technology that creates an application focused network that transparently protects the applications from abnormalities in environments. The main goals of Istio are enhancing overall application security and availability through many different capabilities such as intelligent routing, circuit breaking, mutual TLS, rating, and limiting among others. Ultimately Istio is about helping organizations develop and deploy resilient, secure applications and services using advanced design and deployment patterns that are baked into the platform.
learn.openshift.com: A web-based OpenShift and Kubernetes learning environment where users get to interact through the web browser with a real running instance of OpenShift and Istio service mesh with zero install time and no sign-up required.
Istio tutorial: Want to try the web-based scenario yourself from scratch? This Git repo contains instructions on how to set up an environment for yourself.
Using Istio with Red Hat OpenShift and Kubernetes makes life with microservices easier. Tucked away inside of Kubernetes pods, using the Istio service mesh, your code can run (mostly) in isolation. Performance, ease-of-changes, tracing, and so on are made available by simply using the Istio sidecar container model. But what if you want your microservice to talk to another service that is outside of your OpenShift/Kubernetes/pods environment?
Burr Sutter (@burrsutter) and I (@christianposta) have finished writing a book called Introducing Istio Service Mesh for Microservices to help folks get up and running with Istio.io service mesh!
Many many thanks to all of the reviewers who took the time to give feedback and to Red Hat for sponsoring my time—especially Burr Sutter and the talented folks at O'Reilly who helped coordinate the effort and make it come to fruition.
When Sting and The Police sang those lyrics, I doubt they had microservices, Istio, Kubernetes, and OpenShift in mind. Yet here we are, years later, using the Canary Deployment pattern to ease code into production.

Hagai
1And Ya'akov went on his way, and the angels of God-Elōhīm [The Living Word - The Many Powered] met him.
2And when Ya'akov saw them, he said, This [is] God-Elōhīm's [The Living Word - The Many Powered] host: and he called the name of that place Machanayim [Two Camps] (two camps).
3And Ya'akov (he who holds onto the heel of) sent messengers before him to 'Esav (hairy) his brother unto the land of Se'ir (hairy, shaggy; The Hairy Guys; riding the storm), the country of Edom (red, ruddy (reddish hair or complexion)).
4And he commanded them, saying, In the following manner shall youf speak unto my lord 'Esav; youri servant Ya'akov (he who holds onto the heel of) says in this way, I have detained (held) with Lavan (to be white; white guy), and detained (held) there until now:
5And I have oxen, and donkeys, flocks, and menservants, and women servants: and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find grace in youri sight.
6And the messengers returned to Ya'akov, saying, We came to youri brother 'Esav, and also he comes to meet youi, and four hundred men with him.
7Then Ya'akov was greatly afraid and distressed: and he divided the people that [was] with him, and the flocks, and herds, and the camels, into two bands;
8And said, If 'Esav (hairy) come to the one company, and strike it, then the other company which is left shall escape.
9And Ya'akov (he who holds onto the heel of) said, O God-Elōhīm [The Living Word - The Many Powered] of my father Avraham [exalted father/Fly They Will], and God-Elōhīm [The Living Word - The Many Powered] of my father Yitz'chak [Laughter], the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) which said unto me, Return unto youri country, and to youri family, and I will deal well with youi:
10I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which youi have showed unto youri servant; for with my staff I passed over this Yarden (The Descender, Descending); and now I am become two bands.
11Deliver me, I pray youi, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of 'Esav: for I fear him, lest he will come and strike me, [and] the mother with the children.
12And youi said, I will surely do youi good, and make youri seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.
13And he lodged there that same night; and took of that which came to his hand a present for 'Esav (hairy) his brother;
14Two hundred she goats, and twenty he goats, two hundred ewes, and twenty rams,
15Thirty milk production camels with their colts, forty cows, and ten bulls, twenty she donkeys, and ten foals.
16And he delivered [them] into the hand of his servants, every drove by themselves; and said unto his servants, Pass over before me, and put a space between drove and drove.
17And he commanded the foremost, saying, When 'Esav my brother meets youi, and asks youi, saying, Whose [are] youi? and to where go youi? and whose [are] these before youi?
18Then youi shall say, [They be] youri servant Ya'akov's (he who holds onto the heel of); it [is] a present sent unto my lord 'Esav: and, behold, also he [is] behind us.
19And so commanded he the second, and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying, On this manner shall you1sf speak unto 'Esav (hairy), when you1sf find him.
20And say youf moreover, Behold, youri servant Ya'akov [is] behind us. For he said, I will appease him with the present that goes before me, and afterward I will see his face; perhaps he will accept of me.
21So went the present over before him: and himself lodged that night in the company.
22And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two women servants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford Yabok (emptying; to flow).
23And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over that he had.
24And Ya'akov (he who holds onto the heel of) was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.
25And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Ya'akov's (he who holds onto the heel of) thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.
26And he said, Let me go, for the day breaks. And he said, I will not let youi go, except youi bless me.
27And he said unto him, What [is] youri name? And he said, Ya'akov (he who holds onto the heel of).
28And he said, youri name shall be called no more Ya'akov (he who holds onto the heel of), but Isra'el [he who holds onto God-The Creator]: for as a prince have youi power with God [EL- The Powerful Living Word] and with men, and hast prevailed.
29And Ya'akov asked [him], and said, Tell [me], I pray youi, youri name. And he said, For what reason [is] it [that] youi ask after my name? And he Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) him there.
30And Ya'akov (he who holds onto the heel of) called the name of the place P'ni-El [Face of The Powerful Living Word of GOD]: for I have seen God-Elōhīm [The Living Word - The Many Powered] face to face, and my life is preserved.
31And Ya'akov (he who holds onto the heel of) as he passed over P'ni-El [Face of The Powerful Living Word of GOD] the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh.
32Therefore the children of Isra'el eat not [of] the sinew which shrank, which [is] upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day: because he touched the hollow of Ya'akov's thigh in the sinew that shrank.
1Jacob also went on his way, and the angels of God met him. 2When Jacob saw them, he said, "This is the camp of God." So he named that place Mahanaim.#32:2 Mahanaim means two camps.
3Jacob sent messengers ahead of him to his brother Esau in the land of Seir, the country of Edom. 4He instructed them, "You are to say to my master Esau, 'Your servant Jacob says: I have been staying with Laban and have remained there until now. 5I have oxen, donkeys, flocks, menservants, and maidservants. I have sent this message to inform my master, so that I may find favor in your sight.'"
6When the messengers returned to Jacob, they said, "We went to your brother Esau, and now he is coming to meet you—he and four hundred men with him."
7In great fear and distress, Jacob divided his people into two camps, as well as the flocks and herds and camels. 8He thought, "If Esau comes and attacks one camp, then the other camp can escape."
9Then Jacob declared, "O God of my father Abraham, God of my father Isaac, the Lord who told me, 'Go back to your country and to your kindred, and I will make you prosper,' 10I am unworthy of all the kindness and faithfulness You have shown Your servant. Indeed, with only my staff I came across the Jordan, but now I have become two camps. 11Please deliver me from the hand of my brother Esau, for I am afraid that he may come and attack me and the mothers and children with me. 12But You have said, 'I will surely make you prosper, and I will make your offspring like the sand of the sea, too numerous to count.'"
13Jacob spent the night there, and from what he had brought with him, he selected a gift for his brother Esau: 14200 female goats, 20 male goats, 200 ewes, 20 rams, 1530 milk camels with their young, 40 cows, 10 bulls, 20 female donkeys, and 10 male donkeys. 16He entrusted them to his servants in separate herds and told them, "Go on ahead of me, and keep some distance between the herds."
17He instructed the one in the lead, "When my brother Esau meets you and asks, 'To whom do you belong, where are you going, and whose animals are these before you?' 18then you are to say, 'They belong to your servant Jacob. They are a gift, sent to my lord Esau. And behold, Jacob is behind us.'"
19He also instructed the second, the third, and all those following behind the herds: "When you meet Esau, you are to say the same thing to him. 20You are also to say, 'Look, your servant Jacob is right behind us.'" For he thought, "I will appease Esau #32:20 Or I will appease his face with the gift that is going before me. After that I can face him, and perhaps he will accept me.#32:20 Literally perhaps he will lift up my face"
21So Jacob's gifts went on before him, while he spent the night in the camp.
22During the night Jacob got up and took his two wives, his two maidservants, and his eleven sons, and crossed the ford of the Jabbok. 23He took them and sent them across the stream, along with all his possessions.
24So Jacob was left all alone, and there a man #32:24 Or Man; here and in verses 25–28; corresponding pronouns may also be capitalized wrestled with him until daybreak. 25When the man saw that he could not overpower Jacob, he struck the socket of Jacob's hip and dislocated it as they wrestled. 26Then the man said, "Let me go, for it is daybreak."
But Jacob replied, "I will not let you go unless you bless me."
27"What is your name?" the man asked.
"Jacob," he replied.
28Then the man said, "Your name will no longer be Jacob,#32:28 Jacob means he grasps the heel or he deceives. but Israel,#32:28 Israel means he struggles with God. because you have struggled with God and with men, and you have prevailed."
29And Jacob requested, "Please tell me your name."
But he replied, "Why do you ask my name?" Then he blessed Jacob there.
30So Jacob named the place Peniel,#32:30 Peniel means the face of God. saying, "Indeed, I have seen God face to face, and yet my life was spared."
31The sun rose above him as he passed by Penuel,#32:31 Penuel is a variant of Peniel; see verse 30. and he was limping because of his hip. 32Therefore to this day the Israelites do not eat the tendon which is at the socket of the hip, because the socket of Jacob's hip was struck near that tendon.

Gender Pay Gap Reporting and Equality
From this year Star Refrigeration Ltd is required to report on the pay gap between male and female employees in accordance with Equality Act 2010 (Gender Pay Gap Information) Regulations 2017. The following figures relate to 5th April 2017, the snapshot date for the report. We employ more men (219) than women (41) and the majority of posts in the management team and executive board are held by men. Our published statistics (registered on the Government's website and also carried on www.star-ref.co.uk) show that in the top three quarters of our earners (typically technical staff and engineering managers), only 4.6% are women and it is only in the lowest quartile that we achieve parity, with 50.8% male and 49.2% female staff.
The split between male and female staff in the upper quartiles is a fair reflection of the numbers of applications we receive when these posts are advertised and we work hard to ensure that there is no gender bias in salary at all levels of the company. We also support several initiatives to encourage more girls and women to take up careers in engineering. In 2017 this included sponsorship of Glasgow University's FemEng Society and the Women in Engineering Day. In 2017 Engineering UK reported that there is a shortfall of at least 20,000 candidates per year for both craft and professional engineer posts in the UK and we recognise that reducing the discrepancy between male and female candidates at apprentice and graduate level will be a significant factor in recruiting and retaining skilled staff.
The gender balance in pay quartiles is:
The gender pay gap is:
Difference between men and women
Mean Median
Hourly fixed pay 40.5% 48.2%
Bonus 45.5% 47%
In 2018 91.5% of male staff and 86.7% of female staff received a bonus. The difference is due to eligibility; the bonus is paid in proportion to basic salary and the number of months worked in the preceding year.
Gender pay gap reporting is not required under the 2017 Act for Starfrost (UK) Ltd and Star M&E Solutions Limited because they have less than 250 employees.
Bonus 52.2% 52.5%
In 2017 96.3% of male staff and 87.8% of female staff received a bonus. The difference is due to eligibility; the bonus is paid in proportion to basic salary and the number of months worked in the preceding year. 10 of the men and 5 of the women on staff in April 2017 had joined the company since the beginning of the year.

For a better look at Tomar-Re, head over to CBM.


My intention with these journeys is to support your spiritual path. The journeys are experiential where you feel a connection with Kaua'i and her places of pure mana and consciousness. I enjoy facilitating your healing and expansion to more consciousness as the island bestows her blessings on your journey.
Spirit of Kaua'i started from my strong desire to experience the island's profound spiritual nature. Soon I was discovering more and more of the amazing energy places all around Kaua'i. Friends and their friends were asking to visit and experience the gifts of these divine portals.
There are places for healing, forgiveness and accessing Source directly. Kaua'i, her guardians and the sacred vortex energy and light nurture your Being. Be open to receiving the mana, insights and restoring of your inner peace and alignment.
I know from my experiences that we are one with everything. We have the ability to perceive the entire Universe, all time, space and dimensions. Through Spirit of Kaua'i I offer services for people to experience this oneness in a real way for themselves.
